Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Cached Virtual Rendering

Disclosed is
a method providing a delayed rendering of
clipboard formats between separate sessions of an OS/2* operating
system. This method expands the concept
of the delayed rendering
feature of the Presentation Manager* clipboard to span across
sessions or even networks.

Without this
method, when an OS/2 2.0 application updates its
local clipboard, each format in the clipboard is asked to be
rendered. Then these rendered formats
are exported to each session
having a local clipboard. Translations
between different formats
occur during the export/import process.
Because of the excessive
delays incurred in this process, virtual rendering has been
eliminated in OS/2 2.1. On the other
hand, a system having cached
virtual rendering has an operating speed advantage, since clipboard
formats are translated on demand.
Furthermore, less memory is
required, since the virtual keyboard is only the size of currently
rendered formats.

Fig. 1 shows
a process begun in a system having cached virtual
rendering when an application 1 places one or more formats on a local
clipboard 2 by a change process 3. Next,
PMWIN or the user notifies
a local clipboard agent 4 that local clipboard 2 has changed, through
a notification process 5 using PMCLIP.DLL or WINSCLIP.DLL. Next,
clipboard agent 4 updates VWIN 6 with changed local clipboard formats
only, through a change process 7. VWIN 6
saves these formats in
virtual clipboard 8 through a change process 9.
VWIN 6 notifies
other clipboard agents, such as clipboard agent 10 on the other side
of session boundary 11, through a notification process 12, that
virtual clipboard 8 has changed.
Finally, clipboard agent 10 updates
its local clipboard 13, associated with another application 14,
through change process 14a, with the changed formats.

During this
process, no data is placed on virtual clipboard 8,
or on other local clipboards, such as local clipboard 13. The
conversion of data formats is not required until a data format is
requested. Without the presently
disclosed method, the clipboard
agent que...
